of  the 

National  Research  Council 

The  Proceedings  of  the  National  Academy  of  Sciences 

is  partly  supported  by  the  National  Research  Council  which  is  represented 
officially  on  its  Editorial  Board  and  Executive  Committee.  It  is  open  for 
the  publication  of  papers  to  members  of  the  National  Research  Council  on 
the  same  terms  as  to  members  of  the  National  Academy  of  Sciences. 

Subscription  rate  for  the  "Proceedings"  is  $5  per  year.  Business 
address;  Home  Secretary,  National  Academy  of  Sciences,  Smithsonian

IiIBRAB? 
The  Bulletin  of  the  National  Research  Council 

presents  contributions  from  the  National  Research  Council,  other  than  pro- 
ceedings, for  which  hitherto  no  appropriate  agencies  of  publication  have 
existed. 

The  "Bulletin"  is  published  at  irregular  intervals.  The  subscription 
price,  postpaid,  is  $5  per  volume  of  approximately  500  pages.  Numbers 
of  the  "Bulletin"  are  sold  separately  at  prices  based  upon  the  cost  of 
manufacture. 


The  Reprint  and  Circular  Series  of  the  National  Research 

Council 

renders  available  for  purchase,  at  prices  dependent  upon  the  cost  of 
manufacture,  papers  published  or  printed  by  or  for  the  National  Research 
Council.

MANUSCRIPT  BIBLIOGRAPHIES  IN 

CHEMISTRY  AND   CHEMICAL 

TECHNOLOGY 

Compiled  by  Clarence  J.  West  and  Callie  Hull 

There  exist  many  unpublished,  or  manuscript,  bibliographies 
for  scientific  subjects  which,  if  known  and  made  available  to 
investigators,  would  be  effectively  utilized.  In  view  of  this  fact 
the  Research  Information  Service,  in  cooperation  with  the 
Divisions  of  Science  and  Technology  of  the  National  Research 
Council,  has  undertaken  to  compile  lists  of  manuscript  bibli- 
ographies in  the  mathematical,  physical,  and  biological  sciences. 
A  list  for  geology  and  geography  has  already  been  published 
as  No.  27  in  the  Council's  Reprint  and  Circular  Series.1 

The  list  presented  for  chemistry  and  chemical  technology, 
although  incomplete,  should  prove  useful.  It  is  hoped  that  it 
may  also  encourage  those  who  possess  unpublished  bibliographies, 
as  well  as  those  who  are  in  need  of  bibliographic  lists,  to  cooperate 
with  the  Research  Information  Service  by  reporting  their  bibli- 
ographies and  by  inquiring  as  to  the  existence  and  availability 
of  lists  before  undertaking  independent  compilation. 

The  fact  that  the  information  concerning  each  bibliography 
included  in  this  list — period  covered,  method  of  entry  and  ap- 
proximate completeness — is  taken  directly  from  the  reports 
supplied  to  the  Research  Information  Service,  accounts  for  the 
incompleteness  of  the  data  in  certain  cases  and  for  the  evaluation 
of  materials. 

The  Research  Information  Service  is  prepared  to  serve  as  a 
clearing  house  in  connection  with  scientific  and  technological 
bibliographies.  Those  who  prefer,  however,  may  correspond 
directly  with  the  compiler  of  any  given  bibliography  and,  unless 
otherwise  indicated,  may  assume  that  the  compilers  listed  have 
indicated  willingness  to  have  their  material  consulted  or  dupli- 
cated. Ordinarily  a  copy  of  any  bibliography  may  be  obtained 
for  the  actual  cost  of  duplication. 

The  Research  Information  Service  will  welcome  corrections 
or  additions  to  this  list  and  suggestions  concerning  the  further 
development  of  a  bibliographic  exchange. 

1  Dr.  H.  P.  Little  has  kindly  consented  to  the  incorporation  into  the 
present  list,  of  material  of  chemical  value  contained  in  his  list.

The  National  Research  Council 


Membership  and  Organization.-The  National  Research  Council 
is  a  cooperative  organization  of  scientific  men  of  America,  including  a  so 
represenSion  of  men  of  affairs  interested  in  engineering  and  industry 
and  in  Te  "pure"  science  upon  which  the  applied  science  used  m  these 
"tlvde  depends.  Its  membership  is  largely  composed  of  accredited 
repreintativS  of  about  seventy-five  national  scientific  and  technical 
societies. 

The  Council  was  established  at  the  request  of  the  President  of  i 
United  States,  under  the  Congressional  charter  of  the  National  Academj 
ofSctaS  to  coordinate  the  research  facilities  of  the  country  for  work  on 
war  problems  involving  scientific  knowledge.    In  1918,  by  Executive  Order 
Hvas  reorganized  as  a  permanent  body.    Although  partly  supported  dur 
he  war  period  by  the  government  and  primarily  devoted  at  that  time  to 
te  activities,  the  Council  now  derive,  all  of  its  financial  support  from  other 
an  governmental  sources  and  is  entirely  controlled  by  ,ts  own  represen 
tativety  selected  membership  and  democratically  chosen  officers.    It  mam- 
tains,  however,  a  close  cooperation  with  government  scientific  bureaus  and 
their  activities. 

Purpose—The  Council  is  neither  a  large  operating  laboratory  nor 
a  repository  of  funds  to  be  given  away  to  scattered  scientific  workers 
institutions.    It  is  rather  an  organization  which,  while  clearly _  recognizing 
the  unique  value  of  individual  work,  hopes  especially  to  bring 'together 
scattered  work  and  workers  and  to  assist  in  coordinating  scientific  attack 
in  America  in  am-  and  all  lines  of  scientific  activity.    Its  essential  pur 
is  the  promotion  of  scientific  research  and  of  the  application  and  dissemi- 
nation of  scientific  knowledge  for  the  benefit  of  the  national  strengtl 
well-being.  m 

Research  Fellowships 

The  Council  maintains,  with  the  fin*  -tance  of  the  Rockefeller 

Foundation  and  General  Education  Board-to  the  amount  of  one  i 
dollars,  to  be  expended  during   a  period  of   five  years-two 
advanced  fellowships. 

Fellowships  in  Physics  and  Chemistry.— Candidates  must  already 
hive  made  the  doctor's  degree  or  have  equivalent  qualifications  and  hav 
demonstrated  a  high  order  of  ability  in  research.    Address  application

Fellowships  in  Medicine.— Both  graduates  in  medicine  and  do. 
philosophy  in  one  of  the  sciences  of  medicine,  or  in  physics,  chemisl 
or  biology  are   eligible   for  these   fellowships.     Address  applications   I
